ISLAMABAD (The Thursday Times) — Wafaqi cabinet ne Pakistani currency notes ki nayi series ke designs ki manzoori de di hai aur Rs10 ke note ki jagah sikka laane ka faisla kiya hai, Wazir-e-Azam Office ne Budh ko bataya.
Wazir-e-Azam Shehbaz Sharif ki sadarat mein hone wale cabinet ke ijlas ne yeh faisla Wazarat-e-Khazana ki sifarish par kiya. Cabinet ne yeh nahin bataya ke naye notes kab aayenge, Rs10 ka note kab qanooni currency nahin rahega, aur kya maujooda notes tabdeel karwane ki koi akhri tareekh hogi.
State Bank of Pakistan ne September mein, jab akhri tareekh ki afwahein gardish kar rahi thin, kaha tha ke notes wapas lene ka koi bhi elan baqaida taur par kiya jayega aur awam ko notes tabdeel karwane ke liye kafi waqt diya jayega. Lihaza aap ke batwe mein maujood Rs10 ke notes badalwane ke liye jaldi karne ki koi wajah nahin.
Kya badal raha hai
Cabinet ko bataya gaya ke designs mulk ki saqafat, tareekh aur taraqqi ki akkasi karte hain. Inhein aik khusoosi committee ne mulk bhar ke fankaron aur designers ki tajaweez aur maashiyat danon aur maali idaron se mashwaron ke baad aakhri shakl di.
Briefing mein jaali notes ko aik bara masla qarar diya gaya. Naye notes mein jadeed security features hon ge jinhein naql karna mushkil aur awam aur banks ke liye jaanchna aasan hoga. Yeh notes zyada payedar material se bhi banaye jayenge, taake unhein kam baar badalna pare. Bayan mein designs ki mazeed tafseel nahin batayi gayi.
Rs10 ka note kyun khatm ho raha hai
Cabinet ko bataya gaya ke dunya bhar mein kam qeemat ke sikke kam qeemat ke notes se zyada chalte hain, aur is tabdeeli se unhein baar baar badalne ka kharch bachega. State Bank ke Deputy Governor Inayat Hussain ne August mein Senate ki committee ko bataya tha ke markazi bank note ki barhti hui paidawari laagat ki wajah se isey khatm karne par ghaur kar raha hai, aur is se pehle do baar koshish kar chuka hai.
Rs10 ka note har saal chhapne wale noton ka taqreeban 35% hai, aik haliya andaze ke mutabiq, aur ise badalne par har saal Rs8 arab se Rs10 arab lagat aati hai. Rs10 ke sikke pehle hi gardish mein hain, lekin woh kabhi muqbool nahin hue, jis se hukumat ke saamne aisa kaam hai jo note ke design se bhi mushkil sabit ho sakta hai: Pakistani logon ko unhein apne saath rakhne par aamada karna.
